Golfball Run
« on: 14 December 2005, 11:44 »
I was reading the cannonball 2005 topic in Nonsense, and think this could be a good idea...seeing as some of us dont have the budget for Supercars and £3,000 entry fee..
Any suggestions for the route, when to do it, the prize anything like that?

London to Scotland and then back to London - Prize = entry money from each driver - party each night and mass party/dinner at the end.

Sounds a good idea, How about you do every corner of the uk. Starting from somewhere like Dover in Kent, go along the sea front all the way to lands end and cornwall, then go up through wales, to liverpool then north to scotland, dunfries area on towards inverness or somewhere like that, coming back down going through york and onto birmingham, then going through norwich and suffolk finishing in london, something like that, just a suggestion.
cheers

Sounds like a  :cool: idea . Ideally peeps should do the whole circuit of UK but if some couldn't they could at least meet up en-route or at overnight stop-off points.
Maybe we could raise money for a deserving charity on the way , which could also help with finding suitable stop-off places as some may look on it more favorably i.e. Police etc  ( depending how big the take-up was  :huh: )

Or am I getting a little bit carried away with the idea  :undecided:

I think if we get a route planned, ideally we would want it to last a weekend, (all around the UK looks like a weeklong event tbh..) entrance should be around £100 with half the proceeds going to charity, the other half going to the winner.
We could then send the idea to PerformanceVW or something, and whoever organizes 'proper' events like bugjam and the like.

But I'm not too sure at the mo. It will definitely be a great event i think...
